It's a ROM 3 incompatibility. Solution is: OA-CTRL-ESC (attempt to
access Control Panel) a moment or two before the error message appears. This
still doesn't solve the main problem, it won't recongize disk-2! :/
BTW, in my quest to get around these ROM 3 glitches, I've discovered
a couple of easter-eggs in the Ninja Force MegaDemo! :) Here they are:
- Press OA-CTRL-ESC at the *last possible moment* before the text
screen appears (or the NFC logo for those of you with ROM 01s).
If you time this just right, you'll be greeted with a different
splash screen and vertical 4k text scroller. (Hint, screen should
change to white; image of guy holding a machine gun)
- Load either disk 1 or 2 and then press CTRL-RESET. If you have a
ROM 01, use some utility (ie, screen capture) to view what is being
stored in the Super-Hi-Res memory area. If you have a ROM 3, enter
Monitor and type "s" followed by <Return> to view the SHR page.
You should see yet another alternate splash screen (line-drawn
cartoon image).
